L.Stono, the editor of the New York Commercial Advertiser, had visited the Nunnery in Montreal, the place in wliicli.Maria Monk lays the scenes of lior awful disclosures, and we determined to republish his statement, wlialeftir it mip;ht he, knowing as we did the character of Colonel Hlono, himself a member of a Presbyterian Church, and Ihongh strung in his feelings against the Catholic religion, slill too much of a chris tian to counlenano any misstatement. The account of Col. S. occupies seven pages of his paper, in which he gives soine'account of the munastic institutions, his Irrangemonts for visiting the Hotel Dieu, &o. which we are compelled to omit this morning, and confine our extract to the invesligation, remarking that Colonel S. says that the Rev. Mr. I'erkins, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Montreal, and successor to the Itev. Mr. Chriatmass, endeavored to prevent the publication of Maria Monk's Hook, by representing lo the persons concerned, its absolute falsehood. Colonel Stone was accompanied by his lady, Mr. I'Volhiiighain, and Mr. and Mrs. Shephard of Virginia. It is due to religion that the exposition of Colonel S. should be published, and we shall hereafter c-ive the other part of his account. It is not alone I he Catholic religion whicli suffers by audi a work as .Maria Monks ; Christianity it-aolf it attacked those who are seeking occasion to slander revelation, are liot particular as lo sects they find materials for their attacks in all such falsehoods. S. Gazelle. The hour appointed for commencing our ro- searches, was two o'clock, and the residue of the morning was devoted to the study of the latest edition of the "Awful Disclosures," which is accompanied by the drawings of tho premises, as laid down in the tablets of Maria Monk's memory, and for a copy of which I was indebted to the politeness of Mr. Clary. A few passages forepecial reference were marked in pencil, and the leaves turned down at others, lint my determination was lo mako the examination hook in hand, and refer to its pages as occasion might require. Such was the course pursued. Punctual In tho appointment, wo arrived at fivo minute aflor two, and were received in Mic apothecary's by the assistant superior, Miss Weeks, an American lady, and two utiiersistcns who had been designated to attend us. 1 inquired for Miss lleckwilh, also from I he U. Htatcs, whose parents rcss'dc in the neighborhood of lia-tavia; she was immediately sent fur, and soon made her appearance. Oiirmeeliug waslilto that of old friends. She is certainly one of the most prepossessing ladies with whom I have ever met. Her countenance is full of intelligence, end expressive of great tenderness and sympathy, and the tones of her voice harmonious with these qualities. I remarked tollicm that I presumed from what had been dropped at our former visit, they were fully apprised of the object of our call being, if possible, to lest tho truth or falsehood of Maria Monk's publication in New York. I informed them that I should be satisfied with nothing short of a minute examination of any and every part of the institution. I said to them, frankly, that I had been admonished of their arts of deception, and had been told that they would mislead me at every turn, and throw dust in my eyes at their own pleasure and that consequently I trusted they would be neither displeased nor surprised if the scrutiny I was about to institute should seem over nice and particular. They replied that it was theirdesire lo have the investigation satisfactory to me, and (hat tho keys and their assis tance were at my disposal. Tho Lady Superior they informed ine, was confined to her apartment by indisf osilion otherwise it would have been her pleasure to receivo us in person. .Slie would however, be happy to receiveutin herown apart ment. We then commenced our travels and researches being soon joined by several additional members of I he sisterhood, who accompanied us through our examination. Others we met in their respective apartments, busied in their regular occupations. Having passed through the hospitals at before, wo entered the cloister, and proceeded through tho various apartments of the first slory. Every door, of every room, closet, and pantry, was readily opened at my requsst, and their was not an apartment in eiiher story which I did not exainino with the closest scru tiny, from floor to ceiling, to note whether there had or had not been any alterations any removal of partitions, closing of doors, now paintings, or suspicious whitewashing, or any such things not forgetting one truth, inserted by the amanuensis of Maria, in the sequel of her latest edition, that" whatever alterations may be at tempted, there are changes whicli no mason or carpenter can make and effectually conceal." lint in this ttory there had been no changes of any kind. Hi work and the fixtures were all, evidently, time worn and ancient. There were, however, traps doors in several of the apartments several more than are spe cified in the drawings of Maria Monk. Every one of these trap doors I opened myself, and into everyone of the vaults 1 descendod, toino timet alone, but mora frequently accompanied by Messrs. FVothinrliam and Hhcpard. These vaults ware usual I j store rooms for the accommodation of the particular apartments iminedi atelv above. Ever, wall carefully examined both at to itt apperance, the texture of tho mor tar, &c. After these examinatinnt were ended the sister took hi into the yards, and conducted us into the cellars and vaulted roomt. The tame tcrutiny wat every were made, and the texture of the mortar tried by an iron pointed cane Every door and passage way wai opened and examined, with the like resulls. We now re-entered the convent, and asoen ded to the next ttory, examining every apart' ment with the most deliberate and eagle-eyed attention. We visited the cells of the nuns and examined their furniture. Tho unsophistt cated reader may perhaps think these 'cells' are very dark and gloomy places, with atone Uuort and lockt and bars, and grates. No inch thing. They are neat little appartmentt, containing tingle bed with green curtains and counterpanes two old fashioned high hacked chairs, a little desk, with a small case for books, and within whicli is also a crucifix. The books, to far as we looked at them were such at good prntcs tanta might become Kill bottor by roading. Having ascended to the altick, we had now examined every part except one of the long altick rooms, into which 1 looked carefully through a flan window at the head of the stairway Mist Weekt having forgotten to bring the key to the door. The room wan used for dyingclothct; for which purpose, at it wat well lighted, 1 taw the necessary fixtures, and I did not think it necessary to send the lady down all the st-irs for the key. Soon after we commoncrd our investigations, we were presentod to the lady superior; at the door of her apartment, into which wo were admitted. She was suffering from an attack of rheumatism. She is a lady of dignity and refinement of manners somewhat advanced in years. She received us with the utmost urbanity, nay, with cordiality j and regretted not being ahlo to accompany us through the institution. Indeed the nuns have all tho case, simplicity, dignity and grace which distinguish the high bred and truly genteel. I have rarely seen so many ladies together, possessing, in so great a degree the charm of manner. They were all affability and kindness. Cheerfulness was universal, and very unlike the notions commonly entertained of the gloom rf tho cloister. Their faces wero too often wreathed in smiles to allow us to suppose they were soon to assist in smothering their own children, or that those sweet spirits were soon to be trodden out of their bodies by the roughshod priests of the seminary. The costume of the black nuns is different from what I had supposed. The dress is of black bombazine, with ample skirt and bishop sleeves : the neck dress consists of a hirge square white linen collar, reaching up to tho chin; to this is attached a strap passing across the top of the head, to which the bandeau is fastened. This is a white linen hand bound round the forehead, and reaching down tot lie cyo brows, so as to conceal (he hair entirely. To this the black veil is attached, which is made of a large double square black Italian crape, and reaches from the top of the bandeau half way down the skirt behind. The face is not at all covered by the veil, nor the front of the person. The skirls are turned up like Iho&e of the grey nuns. The Villi ensemble is dignified, becoming, and rather graceful. In the recreation room we were introduced lo the novices, some four or five. The conversation was gay and cheerful, and so pleasant was their laughter at some of our remarks, that I asked them in badinage, what right they had to laugh that in such a place thoir business must he to look grave and gloomy, and never smile ! The greater number of the nuns are advanced in life, and some of them are very aged. In the infirmary of the cloister, we were introduced to quite an aged member of the community. Al though an invalid for many years, she was cheerful and agreeable receiving us with, marks of kind cnnsideralion. Indeed I have never witnessed in any community or family more unaffected cheerfulness and good humor, nor more satisfactory evidence of entire confidence, esteem andhannonr among each other. Among the instances of innocent sporlive-ness which occurred, proving that the merry mischief of woman did not always leave her on taking the veil, was t lie following ; I had been diligently looking fur Hie "purgatory .'' as laid down in Maria Monk's book. The sisters told me I must find it. At length we came to a small apartment, less ancient than Iho other wood work, built out from the wall, in one corner of a largo room in the apartment in which the lur ed women, seamstrcss3s, spinners, &o. were al work. 1 he dour was locked and there was no window except a square cut holo through the part it inn deals, high up from the floor. "Ah," I evclaimeil,''Mi8s Weeks, what have you here! " .Nolhing said she "nothing but a poor nun doing penance! " 1 he spinning wheel, I romarked, "would bo pennace enough for in a ny young ladies in our country. Hut give us tho keys. "(No, she said "ynu must look for yourself," Taking a chair, I thereupon climbed up to the dark hole, and thrusting my head discovered that the mysterious cell was a store l oom fur loaf-sugar hanging round the walls, and a few barrels of oilier family supplies. And this was all tho ''purgatory" discovered by us. And here, perhaps, I may as well remark as elsewhere, that in the course of our inspection I look frequent occision lo refer to Iho drawings and tho pages ol the "awful disclosures, and am constrained to say, that I was utterly unablo lliromrlinut. lo discorn any mark, or tign, or traco of resemblance to anything she has laid duwn or described, other than Iho external lo calilics, which nobody could well mistake. Rut an far as il regards the whole interior, ncilhcr I or my companions could discover, from the drawings, the leant evidence that Iho author had ever been ivilliin the walls of Iho cloister. IS)' way of excusing the inuenracica or rather the totttl and all but universal dissimilarity of the map the friends of .Maria first assert that great changes hare been made in the building; and if that is nntsuiTicicnl, they imploringly exclaim " Oh what can a poor girl do! i o do nut pre tend lo perfect accuracy but tho has given drawings from recullection, the best that were in her power. lo Iho first excuse it may lie replied, without fear of contradiction from any one but Maria herself, that there have been no changes. To the second it may be well said, that the girl must he an incorrigible blonKbcad not to he able to remember somewhat of the interior of a house in which she protends lo have been so long a resident, and in somo aparlmcnts of which she maintains that inch terriblo scenes havo hocn enacted. Hut iho duet not: and it it a lit 1 1 a remarkable that tho only internal re semblance to the diagram! she has given, re said lo he found in the recent Calhalic Magda- lon Asylum, of Mrs, McDonnell, which was dis solved about a week before our visit, and in whicli the eclobrated Jane Kay remained until the last. Having ascended again to the apothecary, Miss Weeks informed us that the task was over. I told ho that there was another celler under the wing in which wo then wero, which I had nut explored. Who remarked that as that did not properly hclong to tho convent my permis sion did not exont lo it. For a moment my sus picious wore awakened. I replied that 1 must exploro that cellar, and the trap door whicli I had just discovered near where we were, or my work was not done. Miss lleckwilh was there upon dispatched to the superior for permission winch was immediately and readily granted The task of exploration was forthwith undortak- and executed. It was most thoroughly dune, and we wero now about lo talto leavo, when I discovered another cellar door leading from tho oulsido directly into that part of the, building from beneath which, according to the plan ol the hook, the subterranean passages lead to tho sem inary one way, and tho Congregntional (School) Nunnery the other. I asked if I might examine that cellar! Ccrtianly, they said; hut as it is merely the kitchen cellar, we did not suppose that you cared about looking into il. An Irish laborer near by wai then directed to go into tho kichen for the koya, and Mr. I rolhinghain and myself wore inducted by pat into the recepta cle of potatoes nnd turnips tor sucli it prov ed lo he. Hut bore, truo enough, we discovered what .Maria calls 11 a great, gloomy iron door!" To be auro it was in quite a different place from that designated by her. Hut it was luck ed and would not yield. Perhaps, thought I, we shall find a range of prison cells here poor eunt with gags, and a charnal homo .of akclo tons. I told pat ho must open that door. Well said he, must go on tho other tide aud away liu went. In a moment more the massive iron turned upon its ponderous hinges, and lo! we were let into the day light on the other side, in a store room which we had examined before! There was also a kitchen well in this cellar small, and furnished with, and old irou pump, nnd olhcr dilapidated fixtures. Not supposing Unit the nuns would throw their murdered sisters and children into the spring from which their water was taken for their tea and cooking, 1 did not descend. 1 ho walls, however, as before, were most thoroughly examined, in every nook and corner and I was compelled now to conclude my subterranean researches, without being able to stroll unfertile deep foundation of the cathedral, and startle the priests ol the seminary by coming up through ono of their own trap-doors. I have already remarked that the cellars in general, were used for store rooms. In one of them into which 1 descended through a trap door, I found a number of large stone jugs. Recollecting that Maria had spokeu of some vessels, whicli from her discription, must have been carboys of sulphuric acid, used, as she intimates with lime to destroy the remains of the murder ed victims, I examined these jugs.. From the odor of the corks, and the scent of the jugs themselves, I presumed their contents had been syrups, essences, and medicinal decoctions for the sick and the apothecary. 1 he only lime that 1 discovered, was in a hot bed the gardncr had been making for radishes, I believe. 1 bus ended this examination, in which we were most actively engaged fur about three hours. The result is the must thorough convic tion that Maria Monk is an arrant impostcr that she never was a nun, and was never within the walls of the cloisterof the Hotel Dieu and, consequently, that her disclosures are wholly, and unequivucally, from beginning lo end, untrue cither the vagaries of a distempered brain, or a series of calumnies iinequalcd in the de pravity of their invention, and unsurpassed in their enormity. There are those, I am well aware, who will not adopt this conclusion, though ono should arise from tho dead and attest it-even though " Noah, Daniel, and Job" were lo speak from the slumber of ages and confirm it. I heso will ask why, if the "disclosures wero not I rue, the nunnery was not at once thrown open to the public why its doors were so long closed, and why did silence aa to those charges so long reign within its walls! there are 'several reasons: in the first place, the tales were so improbable of themselves, and the character of Maria Monk herself so utterly worthless aud detestable, that it was not deemed necessary to pay the least regard to them. They did not suppose in Montreal, cither within or without tho convent, that there could be found in Iho United States, or elsewhere, persons so weak and so credulous as to tend the least credence lo them. Hut the best answer is found in the scuniblo remarks of the nuns themselves. " You see," said Miss Weeks, " how impossible it would he for us lo conduct tho establishment, if visiters wero uxually ad mitted into I lie cloister for no other object ihan tho gratification of their own idle curiosity more especially such crowds of visiters as we liould havo had after the publication of the work," Proceeding with her conversalion, she added " we arc constantly employed, and each has her portion of occupation. If uur labors aro interrupted, our sick must sutler, and the whole business of tho establishment co-no to an end." And hesidi's all this a man's huiisi: is his castle, and what man or woman among us or which of our hospitals, or public inslitu lions, would consent lo spend their labors, aud relinquish all (heir coinlnrls lo gratify succes sive swarm of Canadains, or others whose curi osily might be stimulated by Iho scandalous laics of one nl .Mr. Jl Dowull s pupils! In answer lo my objection, that the drawings furnished by Maria .Monk, do not, bo far as I or any ono else havo yet been able to discover, correspond with tho internal fixtures and local-lies, il has been said, and will he said, again, and again, that great alterations havo been made in the minncrv (lint iuummis. and carpen ters, and painters, have been t wurk these nine months; and that the nowly escaped nun, (Francis Partridge, ) declares that so many alteraltions have been made during that period, that she should scarcely lerogni.e it herself. To this I answer most emphatically, il is not I rue. There havo been no such alterations, ciihor in the building within, or tho vaults beneath, or Ihn walls wilhuut. All things remain as they wero. Let it hero be homo in mind, " that whatever alterations may he attempted, there are changes whicli no carpenter can make and clfcclually concoal." Impressed with this truth and il is almost the only ono 1 have been able lo discov er in Iho book, I went prepared upon this point. I thought it not unlikely that 1 might be mystified by paint nnd while wash but it was nut so. There is not an outward wall, nor a cellar, nor a vault, that has been whitewashed. I he mason work is all,evcrv where, of stone work, ancient and massive. The moriar, moreover, has be come every where so indurated in Iho lapse of break their vow and.retire if they please. Or, if tneir neaun will not bear the confinement, they can leave after the white veil, and before tuking the black. Such instances: are not rare. The whole tale is ono ol laluchmd. Again, as to the secret passage under ground to the Seuiinury. Whence iu, necessity, since the gate is ulwuys open, and the hospitals with coin- inuiiiciHing uoors to tuo cloisters always accessible! II' such a passage had ever existed, it must necessarily have led under the present foundation of tho stupendous cathedral before described. Tho foundations of f this structure were laid broad and deep. They dug until they came to water, and had such a ptthway existed, it would have been discovered then. 'Mr. Frothinjham. and hundreds of others, passed the spot daily, and viewed the progress ot tne workmen continually. Yet no such passage was everjjiicen or heard of, and there lias been no filling up. There was indeed an old pas sage way to the river ner ians from the old French church in Notre Dame street, now nulled down, constructed according to tradition, fur use in time of war perhaps fur the procurement of wa terbut that has long years ago been filled up. It was probably some reminiscence of tins old affair, that gave tlm hint for the stary of tho pas- sago to tho seminary. Hut no such passuges exist. Again as lo the births nnd murders of children. In the first place, the whole tile is improbable, both as to tht murder ol nuns and infants. Do mur derers cluster in numbers to perpetrate their butcheries, and thus purposely furnish the means of conviction! Would they be so foolish, and so mad, as to keep a written record ot their murders'! And would so many mothers consent Ito strangle their own offspring! Can, woman forget her sucking child! It is not so! The voire of indignant nature rises up to proclaim the falsehood. And moreover, us to the number of novices and infants, Miss Monk states, that on a certain occasion, she discovered a book in the Superior's custody, containing the record of the admission of novices, and of the birtiis of infants who were murdered. About twenty-five of these pages wore written over, containing about fifteen entries on a ptge. "Several of these pages," she says, wero occupied with the' records ol the births ol the murdered infants. And all the records were either of admissions or births. Now; we will allow twenty pages for the records of admission of novices, nnd five for the births of tho murdered children. Fifteen entries on a pagn, twenty pages, will give us tho number of three hundred admissions in two years. Now there are but thirty-six nuns in all, and seldom more than four or five novices or postulants. Again, as to the infants. If wo allow fivo pages to h ive been devoted to these records of births, we havoseventy-five b rlhs during the S'inie p-irmd!!! Now, an I have already said, ot tho thirty-six nuns, more than one half aru "past age." Certainly nut more th in hlteen ot them could, "in the natural course ot human events," become mothers. Taking Mini's statements, therefore, as correct data, anil each of those fifteen nuns striking the average must give birth to two and a half children every year! A must proline race, truly! hat nonsens.1, and how great the popular credulity timwallnw it! Hut 1 weary in the expose of im;issibilities, Nor is it necessary to proceed farther with thorn. I might indeed write a volume as lirgo ns her own, in the exposure of the multitudinous inconsistencies nnd contradictions of tlm "Awful Disclosures." Hut "the gmno would n"t he worth the eniidlc;" and besides, with the ample refutation I havo given the groat and essential feitures of her work, the minor and loss important fabrications fill to the ground of course. I will therefore now close this protracted narrative by expressing my deliberate nnd solemn opinion, founded not only upon my own careful examination, but upon ,lt. A.

L.Stono, the editor of the New York Commercial Advertiser, had visited the Nunnery in Montreal, the place in wliicli.Maria Monk lays the scenes of lior awful disclosures, and we determined to republish his statement, wlialeftir it mip;ht he, knowing as we did the character of Colonel Hlono, himself a member of a Presbyterian Church, and Ihongh strung in his feelings against the Catholic religion, slill too much of a chris tian to counlenano any misstatement. The account of Col. S. occupies seven pages of his paper, in which he gives soine'account of the munastic institutions, his Irrangemonts for visiting the Hotel Dieu, &o. which we are compelled to omit this morning, and confine our extract to the invesligation, remarking that Colonel S. says that the Rev. Mr. I'erkins, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Montreal, and successor to the Itev. Mr. Chriatmass, endeavored to prevent the publication of Maria Monk's Hook, by representing lo the persons concerned, its absolute falsehood. Colonel Stone was accompanied by his lady, Mr. I'Volhiiighain, and Mr. and Mrs. Shephard of Virginia. It is due to religion that the exposition of Colonel S. should be published, and we shall hereafter c-ive the other part of his account. It is not alone I he Catholic religion whicli suffers by audi a work as .Maria Monks ; Christianity it-aolf it attacked those who are seeking occasion to slander revelation, are liot particular as lo sects they find materials for their attacks in all such falsehoods. S. Gazelle. The hour appointed for commencing our ro- searches, was two o'clock, and the residue of the morning was devoted to the study of the latest edition of the "Awful Disclosures," which is accompanied by the drawings of tho premises, as laid down in the tablets of Maria Monk's memory, and for a copy of which I was indebted to the politeness of Mr. Clary. A few passages forepecial reference were marked in pencil, and the leaves turned down at others, lint my determination was lo mako the examination hook in hand, and refer to its pages as occasion might require. Such was the course pursued. Punctual In tho appointment, wo arrived at fivo minute aflor two, and were received in Mic apothecary's by the assistant superior, Miss Weeks, an American lady, and two utiiersistcns who had been designated to attend us. 1 inquired for Miss lleckwilh, also from I he U. Htatcs, whose parents rcss'dc in the neighborhood of lia-tavia; she was immediately sent fur, and soon made her appearance. Oiirmeeliug waslilto that of old friends. She is certainly one of the most prepossessing ladies with whom I have ever met. Her countenance is full of intelligence, end expressive of great tenderness and sympathy, and the tones of her voice harmonious with these qualities. I remarked tollicm that I presumed from what had been dropped at our former visit, they were fully apprised of the object of our call being, if possible, to lest tho truth or falsehood of Maria Monk's publication in New York. I informed them that I should be satisfied with nothing short of a minute examination of any and every part of the institution. I said to them, frankly, that I had been admonished of their arts of deception, and had been told that they would mislead me at every turn, and throw dust in my eyes at their own pleasure and that consequently I trusted they would be neither displeased nor surprised if the scrutiny I was about to institute should seem over nice and particular. They replied that it was theirdesire lo have the investigation satisfactory to me, and (hat tho keys and their assis tance were at my disposal. Tho Lady Superior they informed ine, was confined to her apartment by indisf osilion otherwise it would have been her pleasure to receivo us in person. .Slie would however, be happy to receiveutin herown apart ment. We then commenced our travels and researches being soon joined by several additional members of I he sisterhood, who accompanied us through our examination. Others we met in their respective apartments, busied in their regular occupations. Having passed through the hospitals at before, wo entered the cloister, and proceeded through tho various apartments of the first slory. Every door, of every room, closet, and pantry, was readily opened at my requsst, and their was not an apartment in eiiher story which I did not exainino with the closest scru tiny, from floor to ceiling, to note whether there had or had not been any alterations any removal of partitions, closing of doors, now paintings, or suspicious whitewashing, or any such things not forgetting one truth, inserted by the amanuensis of Maria, in the sequel of her latest edition, that" whatever alterations may be at tempted, there are changes whicli no mason or carpenter can make and effectually conceal." lint in this ttory there had been no changes of any kind. Hi work and the fixtures were all, evidently, time worn and ancient. There were, however, traps doors in several of the apartments several more than are spe cified in the drawings of Maria Monk. Every one of these trap doors I opened myself, and into everyone of the vaults 1 descendod, toino timet alone, but mora frequently accompanied by Messrs. FVothinrliam and Hhcpard. These vaults ware usual I j store rooms for the accommodation of the particular apartments iminedi atelv above. Ever, wall carefully examined both at to itt apperance, the texture of tho mor tar, &c. After these examinatinnt were ended the sister took hi into the yards, and conducted us into the cellars and vaulted roomt. The tame tcrutiny wat every were made, and the texture of the mortar tried by an iron pointed cane Every door and passage way wai opened and examined, with the like resulls. We now re-entered the convent, and asoen ded to the next ttory, examining every apart' ment with the most deliberate and eagle-eyed attention. We visited the cells of the nuns and examined their furniture. Tho unsophistt cated reader may perhaps think these 'cells' are very dark and gloomy places, with atone Uuort and lockt and bars, and grates. No inch thing. They are neat little appartmentt, containing tingle bed with green curtains and counterpanes two old fashioned high hacked chairs, a little desk, with a small case for books, and within whicli is also a crucifix. The books, to far as we looked at them were such at good prntcs tanta might become Kill bottor by roading. Having ascended to the altick, we had now examined every part except one of the long altick rooms, into which 1 looked carefully through a flan window at the head of the stairway Mist Weekt having forgotten to bring the key to the door. The room wan used for dyingclothct; for which purpose, at it wat well lighted, 1 taw the necessary fixtures, and I did not think it necessary to send the lady down all the st-irs for the key. Soon after we commoncrd our investigations, we were presentod to the lady superior; at the door of her apartment, into which wo were admitted. She was suffering from an attack of rheumatism. She is a lady of dignity and refinement of manners somewhat advanced in years. She received us with the utmost urbanity, nay, with cordiality j and regretted not being ahlo to accompany us through the institution. Indeed the nuns have all tho case, simplicity, dignity and grace which distinguish the high bred and truly genteel. I have rarely seen so many ladies together, possessing, in so great a degree the charm of manner. They were all affability and kindness. Cheerfulness was universal, and very unlike the notions commonly entertained of the gloom rf tho cloister. Their faces wero too often wreathed in smiles to allow us to suppose they were soon to assist in smothering their own children, or that those sweet spirits were soon to be trodden out of their bodies by the roughshod priests of the seminary. The costume of the black nuns is different from what I had supposed. The dress is of black bombazine, with ample skirt and bishop sleeves : the neck dress consists of a hirge square white linen collar, reaching up to tho chin; to this is attached a strap passing across the top of the head, to which the bandeau is fastened. This is a white linen hand bound round the forehead, and reaching down tot lie cyo brows, so as to conceal (he hair entirely. To this the black veil is attached, which is made of a large double square black Italian crape, and reaches from the top of the bandeau half way down the skirt behind. The face is not at all covered by the veil, nor the front of the person. The skirls are turned up like Iho&e of the grey nuns. The Villi ensemble is dignified, becoming, and rather graceful. In the recreation room we were introduced lo the novices, some four or five. The conversation was gay and cheerful, and so pleasant was their laughter at some of our remarks, that I asked them in badinage, what right they had to laugh that in such a place thoir business must he to look grave and gloomy, and never smile ! The greater number of the nuns are advanced in life, and some of them are very aged. In the infirmary of the cloister, we were introduced to quite an aged member of the community. Al though an invalid for many years, she was cheerful and agreeable receiving us with, marks of kind cnnsideralion. Indeed I have never witnessed in any community or family more unaffected cheerfulness and good humor, nor more satisfactory evidence of entire confidence, esteem andhannonr among each other. Among the instances of innocent sporlive-ness which occurred, proving that the merry mischief of woman did not always leave her on taking the veil, was t lie following ; I had been diligently looking fur Hie "purgatory .'' as laid down in Maria Monk's book. The sisters told me I must find it. At length we came to a small apartment, less ancient than Iho other wood work, built out from the wall, in one corner of a largo room in the apartment in which the lur ed women, seamstrcss3s, spinners, &o. were al work. 1 he dour was locked and there was no window except a square cut holo through the part it inn deals, high up from the floor. "Ah," I evclaimeil,''Mi8s Weeks, what have you here! " .Nolhing said she "nothing but a poor nun doing penance! " 1 he spinning wheel, I romarked, "would bo pennace enough for in a ny young ladies in our country. Hut give us tho keys. "(No, she said "ynu must look for yourself," Taking a chair, I thereupon climbed up to the dark hole, and thrusting my head discovered that the mysterious cell was a store l oom fur loaf-sugar hanging round the walls, and a few barrels of oilier family supplies. And this was all tho ''purgatory" discovered by us. And here, perhaps, I may as well remark as elsewhere, that in the course of our inspection I look frequent occision lo refer to Iho drawings and tho pages ol the "awful disclosures, and am constrained to say, that I was utterly unablo lliromrlinut. lo discorn any mark, or tign, or traco of resemblance to anything she has laid duwn or described, other than Iho external lo calilics, which nobody could well mistake. Rut an far as il regards the whole interior, ncilhcr I or my companions could discover, from the drawings, the leant evidence that Iho author had ever been ivilliin the walls of Iho cloister. IS)' way of excusing the inuenracica or rather the totttl and all but universal dissimilarity of the map the friends of .Maria first assert that great changes hare been made in the building; and if that is nntsuiTicicnl, they imploringly exclaim " Oh what can a poor girl do! i o do nut pre tend lo perfect accuracy but tho has given drawings from recullection, the best that were in her power. lo Iho first excuse it may lie replied, without fear of contradiction from any one but Maria herself, that there have been no changes. To the second it may be well said, that the girl must he an incorrigible blonKbcad not to he able to remember somewhat of the interior of a house in which she protends lo have been so long a resident, and in somo aparlmcnts of which she maintains that inch terriblo scenes havo hocn enacted. Hut iho duet not: and it it a lit 1 1 a remarkable that tho only internal re semblance to the diagram! she has given, re said lo he found in the recent Calhalic Magda- lon Asylum, of Mrs, McDonnell, which was dis solved about a week before our visit, and in whicli the eclobrated Jane Kay remained until the last. Having ascended again to the apothecary, Miss Weeks informed us that the task was over. I told ho that there was another celler under the wing in which wo then wero, which I had nut explored. Who remarked that as that did not properly hclong to tho convent my permis sion did not exont lo it. For a moment my sus picious wore awakened. I replied that 1 must exploro that cellar, and the trap door whicli I had just discovered near where we were, or my work was not done. Miss lleckwilh was there upon dispatched to the superior for permission winch was immediately and readily granted The task of exploration was forthwith undortak- and executed. It was most thoroughly dune, and we wero now about lo talto leavo, when I discovered another cellar door leading from tho oulsido directly into that part of the, building from beneath which, according to the plan ol the hook, the subterranean passages lead to tho sem inary one way, and tho Congregntional (School) Nunnery the other. I asked if I might examine that cellar! Ccrtianly, they said; hut as it is merely the kitchen cellar, we did not suppose that you cared about looking into il. An Irish laborer near by wai then directed to go into tho kichen for the koya, and Mr. I rolhinghain and myself wore inducted by pat into the recepta cle of potatoes nnd turnips tor sucli it prov ed lo he. Hut bore, truo enough, we discovered what .Maria calls 11 a great, gloomy iron door!" To be auro it was in quite a different place from that designated by her. Hut it was luck ed and would not yield. Perhaps, thought I, we shall find a range of prison cells here poor eunt with gags, and a charnal homo .of akclo tons. I told pat ho must open that door. Well said he, must go on tho other tide aud away liu went. In a moment more the massive iron turned upon its ponderous hinges, and lo! we were let into the day light on the other side, in a store room which we had examined before! There was also a kitchen well in this cellar small, and furnished with, and old irou pump, nnd olhcr dilapidated fixtures. Not supposing Unit the nuns would throw their murdered sisters and children into the spring from which their water was taken for their tea and cooking, 1 did not descend. 1 ho walls, however, as before, were most thoroughly examined, in every nook and corner and I was compelled now to conclude my subterranean researches, without being able to stroll unfertile deep foundation of the cathedral, and startle the priests ol the seminary by coming up through ono of their own trap-doors. I have already remarked that the cellars in general, were used for store rooms. In one of them into which 1 descended through a trap door, I found a number of large stone jugs. Recollecting that Maria had spokeu of some vessels, whicli from her discription, must have been carboys of sulphuric acid, used, as she intimates with lime to destroy the remains of the murder ed victims, I examined these jugs.. From the odor of the corks, and the scent of the jugs themselves, I presumed their contents had been syrups, essences, and medicinal decoctions for the sick and the apothecary. 1 he only lime that 1 discovered, was in a hot bed the gardncr had been making for radishes, I believe. 1 bus ended this examination, in which we were most actively engaged fur about three hours. The result is the must thorough convic tion that Maria Monk is an arrant impostcr that she never was a nun, and was never within the walls of the cloisterof the Hotel Dieu and, consequently, that her disclosures are wholly, and unequivucally, from beginning lo end, untrue cither the vagaries of a distempered brain, or a series of calumnies iinequalcd in the de pravity of their invention, and unsurpassed in their enormity. There are those, I am well aware, who will not adopt this conclusion, though ono should arise from tho dead and attest it-even though " Noah, Daniel, and Job" were lo speak from the slumber of ages and confirm it. I heso will ask why, if the "disclosures wero not I rue, the nunnery was not at once thrown open to the public why its doors were so long closed, and why did silence aa to those charges so long reign within its walls! there are 'several reasons: in the first place, the tales were so improbable of themselves, and the character of Maria Monk herself so utterly worthless aud detestable, that it was not deemed necessary to pay the least regard to them. They did not suppose in Montreal, cither within or without tho convent, that there could be found in Iho United States, or elsewhere, persons so weak and so credulous as to tend the least credence lo them. Hut the best answer is found in the scuniblo remarks of the nuns themselves. " You see," said Miss Weeks, " how impossible it would he for us lo conduct tho establishment, if visiters wero uxually ad mitted into I lie cloister for no other object ihan tho gratification of their own idle curiosity more especially such crowds of visiters as we liould havo had after the publication of the work," Proceeding with her conversalion, she added " we arc constantly employed, and each has her portion of occupation. If uur labors aro interrupted, our sick must sutler, and the whole business of tho establishment co-no to an end." And hesidi's all this a man's huiisi: is his castle, and what man or woman among us or which of our hospitals, or public inslitu lions, would consent lo spend their labors, aud relinquish all (heir coinlnrls lo gratify succes sive swarm of Canadains, or others whose curi osily might be stimulated by Iho scandalous laics of one nl .Mr. Jl Dowull s pupils! In answer lo my objection, that the drawings furnished by Maria .Monk, do not, bo far as I or any ono else havo yet been able to discover, correspond with tho internal fixtures and local-lies, il has been said, and will he said, again, and again, that great alterations havo been made in the minncrv (lint iuummis. and carpen ters, and painters, have been t wurk these nine months; and that the nowly escaped nun, (Francis Partridge, ) declares that so many alteraltions have been made during that period, that she should scarcely lerogni.e it herself. To this I answer most emphatically, il is not I rue. There havo been no such alterations, ciihor in the building within, or tho vaults beneath, or Ihn walls wilhuut. All things remain as they wero. Let it hero be homo in mind, " that whatever alterations may he attempted, there are changes whicli no carpenter can make and clfcclually concoal." Impressed with this truth and il is almost the only ono 1 have been able lo discov er in Iho book, I went prepared upon this point. I thought it not unlikely that 1 might be mystified by paint nnd while wash but it was nut so. There is not an outward wall, nor a cellar, nor a vault, that has been whitewashed. I he mason work is all,evcrv where, of stone work, ancient and massive. The moriar, moreover, has be come every where so indurated in Iho lapse of break their vow and.retire if they please. Or, if tneir neaun will not bear the confinement, they can leave after the white veil, and before tuking the black. Such instances: are not rare. The whole tale is ono ol laluchmd. Again, as to the secret passage under ground to the Seuiinury. Whence iu, necessity, since the gate is ulwuys open, and the hospitals with coin- inuiiiciHing uoors to tuo cloisters always accessible! II' such a passage had ever existed, it must necessarily have led under the present foundation of tho stupendous cathedral before described. Tho foundations of f this structure were laid broad and deep. They dug until they came to water, and had such a ptthway existed, it would have been discovered then. 'Mr. Frothinjham. and hundreds of others, passed the spot daily, and viewed the progress ot tne workmen continually. Yet no such passage was everjjiicen or heard of, and there lias been no filling up. There was indeed an old pas sage way to the river ner ians from the old French church in Notre Dame street, now nulled down, constructed according to tradition, fur use in time of war perhaps fur the procurement of wa terbut that has long years ago been filled up. It was probably some reminiscence of tins old affair, that gave tlm hint for the stary of tho pas- sago to tho seminary. Hut no such passuges exist. Again as lo the births nnd murders of children. In the first place, the whole tile is improbable, both as to tht murder ol nuns and infants. Do mur derers cluster in numbers to perpetrate their butcheries, and thus purposely furnish the means of conviction! Would they be so foolish, and so mad, as to keep a written record ot their murders'! And would so many mothers consent Ito strangle their own offspring! Can, woman forget her sucking child! It is not so! The voire of indignant nature rises up to proclaim the falsehood. And moreover, us to the number of novices and infants, Miss Monk states, that on a certain occasion, she discovered a book in the Superior's custody, containing the record of the admission of novices, and of the birtiis of infants who were murdered. About twenty-five of these pages wore written over, containing about fifteen entries on a ptge. "Several of these pages," she says, wero occupied with the' records ol the births ol the murdered infants. And all the records were either of admissions or births. Now; we will allow twenty pages for the records of admission of novices, nnd five for the births of tho murdered children. Fifteen entries on a pagn, twenty pages, will give us tho number of three hundred admissions in two years. Now there are but thirty-six nuns in all, and seldom more than four or five novices or postulants. Again, as to the infants. If wo allow fivo pages to h ive been devoted to these records of births, we havoseventy-five b rlhs during the S'inie p-irmd!!! Now, an I have already said, ot tho thirty-six nuns, more than one half aru "past age." Certainly nut more th in hlteen ot them could, "in the natural course ot human events," become mothers. Taking Mini's statements, therefore, as correct data, anil each of those fifteen nuns striking the average must give birth to two and a half children every year! A must proline race, truly! hat nonsens.1, and how great the popular credulity timwallnw it! Hut 1 weary in the expose of im;issibilities, Nor is it necessary to proceed farther with thorn. I might indeed write a volume as lirgo ns her own, in the exposure of the multitudinous inconsistencies nnd contradictions of tlm "Awful Disclosures." Hut "the gmno would n"t he worth the eniidlc;" and besides, with the ample refutation I havo given the groat and essential feitures of her work, the minor and loss important fabrications fill to the ground of course. I will therefore now close this protracted narrative by expressing my deliberate nnd solemn opinion, founded not only upon my own careful examination, but upon ,lt. A.

Aain Maria Monk hutu laid down the truck by whicli alio a)'Bbho efcnprd, nnd han fivon a narrative of tho way eho pmcocilcd to pet out, which, in the lirxt place, tho walla oho nuiht have climbed, prove to havo been impopfliblo, and to which the intornal regulations of the notice, as I bidiovn, jjivo a positive contradiction. Hy tho cnurno ho has marked out on tho ntnp, nho must hnvenomr first within a few feet ol tho broad gate, always open in tho day time. Icatlinjr into St. Joseph street. In the yard wIhto sho then wes, there are various doors upon in ir into several parts of the buildings. Well having been near the broad gato, sho says sho wheeled round to the ri jrht, almost croBscd her track in turning a win;?, and Anally escaped through the rr;irdo:i grounds into Jean Ilaptisto street, ov, this whole tale is not only improbable, but absolutely irnpoHKiblo. There is no pastmgo that way. Who must havo leapotl a suocossion ot wallB, (the outer wall some twenty feet high:) walls which no unaided mortal, man or woman, tjould have Btir- uumntcu. When reminded of those f.icta by Messrs, Jones and Ie I 'lure, pentlemon from .Montreal who bad an interview with Maria nt Messrs. Van Nostrand and Uwirjlit s book-store, in Anoint, slio resorted to tho usual subterfuge, that there were a door and a erato there then; but intimatintrthat they had been altered. A;raiii I siy it if nor true! Tho walls have stood a century there was no pate, and no passag? way has been tilled up. As well might Alderman WoodrniT send a bevy of masons to build up the portals, of tho City Hall, and the peoplo of Now York not know it, as that such works could have been executed in Montroa), and tho people of Mont real kept in ipnornnco of tho fact.

In the cnurso of various other questions, sho stated that within her knowledge a new stono wall had been erected acrons a parti-cular cellur, during the late summer. The ctory was untrue. On being asked which ol the cellar.- had been newly whitewashed during tho present season, sho replied that they had all boon thorough ly win to -was lied throughout, this saason that she had herself assisted in white-washing thorn and asked Maria, if they had not formerly been oup:i- ped in that work together.
